Extended Info

The IPGSM-DP Commercial Fire Communicator is used to upgrade a commercial fire system that previously reported to the Central Station by phone lines (POTS), to a system that uses an Internet or GSM cellular reporting path. The IPGSM-DP communicates via the AlarmNet relay point and has Dual Primary methods of operation. In method one, the unit communicates over the internet as primary and utilizes GSM cellular as a backup, should the internet be unavailable. In method two, the unit communicates via GSM cellular, so no communications cabling is needed. The communications method (IP/GSM or GSM only) is field selectable and easily set up. The unit answers any phone number dialed so Fire Panel programming changes are at a minimum when converting existing systems over to this communications method.

The IPGSM-DP is a compact fire alarm communicator panel
with selectable configurable paths: Cellular Only, IP Only, or IP
Primary/Cellular Backup. It connects to the primary and secondary
communication ports of the Fire Alarm Control Panel’s
DACT. In the event of an off-normal condition, the panel sends
contact ID formatted information to the IPGSM-DP communicator
panel. The IPGSM-DP then reformats the data into
highly encrypted Ethernet packets for transmission to the
AlarmNet receiver via customer-provided internet/intranet connection
or GSM (Global System for Mobile) network.
Alternative communication methods are critical in the marketplace
due to VoIP (Voice over IP), migration from POTS (Plain
Old Telephone Service) and growth of digital radio networks.
The IPGSM-DP delivers secure, reliable and complementary
Internet and digital communications via the GSM (Global System
for Mobile) network. Our exclusive, Dual-Path Communications
solution combines internet service with GSM for added
reliability and an extra level of security. The GSM radio technology
is unique in that it uses GPRS service (General Packet
Radio Service) for data and alarm communications. Through
the Internet or GSM radio, the IPGSM-DP offers contact ID
reporting with any Fire Alarm Control Panels.
All signals from the IPGSM-DP communicator panel are delivered
to Honeywell’s AlarmNet Network Control Center, which
routes the information to the appropriate central station. The
state of the art AlarmNet Network Control Center is fully
redundant and monitored 24/7. AlarmNet has the ability to
route messages using AlarmNet-i and 800 PLUS services,
providing true redundancy and multi-path message delivery.

Operation
When an event occurs, the Fire Alarm Control Panel goes off
hook to dial the central station. The IPGSM-DP Dialer Capture
Module detects the off-hook condition and provides the fire
panel with a dial tone. When the fire panel detects the dial
tone, it begins dialing the central station. The Dialer Capture
Module considers the three second period after dialing as the
number dialing has been completed. After the dialing is completed,
the Dialer Capture Module returns a handshake to the
fire panel. The fire panel then sends the contact ID reports to
the Dialer Capture Module, which in turn sends a kiss-off after
the report is successfully received from the fire panel. The
Dialer Capture Module sends the contact ID reports to the
iGSM communications module. When all the reports are sent,
the fire panel goes on-hook. The iGSM communications module
then transmits the messages to the central station either
over the GSM network or internet (primary).

Easy to Program
There are two ways to configure the IPGSM-DP communicator
panel:
1. Handheld programmer 7720P
2. Web-Based Programming - Allows complete interactive
programming from AlarmNet Direct.

The IPGSM-DP Communicator can be pre-programmed. Use
the 7720P programmer or the Web-Based Program to enter all
central-station information. This is saved to the IPGSM-DP
communicator panel memory. When the IPGSM-DP Communicator
is installed at the site and connected to the Internet/
Intranet, it registers itself with the AlarmNet receiver. This eliminates
the need for a PC at the remote site for programming.
For most installations, the only required parameters are:
• Primary City ID (two digits) obtained from your monitoring
station.
• Primary Central Station ID (two digits) obtained from your
monitoring station.
• Primary Subscriber ID (four digits) obtained from your monitoring
station.
• Communication Module's MAC ID, and MAC CRC number
located on outside of box, and inside of the module.
All of these parameters are assigned by the monitoring station.
